Abstract
POPULAR works on astronomy, either on its entire range or selected portions, have been so numerous of recent years as to make it difficult to judge a new one entirely on its own merits; it is felt that there must be some well-marked originality of plan or execution, some novelty of treatment, or freshness of fact, to justify an addition to an already abundant literature.
